2013 Michelin Guide: Chicago

For those of you in the Chicago area you'll have to check out the new Michelin ratings. Unfortunately, we did not receive has many starts as we did in the last few years. I was quite surprised because I feel as though we've opened up a ton of new restaurants and I've loved them all!

It is amazing through for Alinea to still keep three stars while L2O and Graham Elliot restaurants achieved two stars. There was a total of 16 Chicago restaurants that made the one-star list, including Mexique, a mexican-french restaurant in our West Town neighborhood.



We are one of the three American cities that have Michelin guides for their restaurants, which is pretty impressive. Of course New York and the San Francisco Bay Area and Wine Country are the other two.

I encourage you to take a look at all of the restaurants that made the list and support them!
